"AGT-Venango-The Covered Bridge" find #71 on 11/02/08
OK, after following the Tom Tom in the car and having it wanting us to drive down some old four-wheeler trail, we were at a loss. Finally, we used our own senses and finally found the little road that goes under the bridges. What an adorable little covered bridge that is in a little out-of-the-way place.
True to form for the day, another cacher caught up to us. Although the cacher wasn't sure we were cachers too (as noted in his find log), we were sure he was one. As we headed back out, we saw the GPS around his neck and the AGT passport in his back pocket. This is the most we have ran into other cachers to date.
Until next time........

"AGT-Venango-Dewey Decimal" find #70 on 11/02/08
This was another quick cache and dash as we felt a little uncomfortable lurking around a fire station. Also, there were a lot of muggles to be concerned with. The cache wasn't hard to find at all.
We decided to stop and get a quick bite to eat since we were in a large town, so we went through a local fast food drive through. The food was OK, but the service wasn't that great. Oh well, what can you expect at a fast food joint, right. On to the next cache.

"AGT-Venango-Two Mile History" find #69 on 11/02/08
Our third cache of the day was a 2 part multi-cache. We were able to make quick work of this. The first stage involved checking out the history of the dam located here and the second stage took us to the park administration building.
We had to make this a quick cache and dash as another caching couple pulled into the first stage area just as we were leaving. We did end up meeting with the fellow cachers after we found the cache and chatted with them for quite some time. They were from Ohio and have done a lot of traveling. We really enjoyed meeting them and their two little dogs - one of which was a blind Yorkie.
Well, we still had 3 more to find today, so we had to get motoring. Until next time....

"AGT-Venango-Wooden Gliders Trail" find #68 on 11/02/08
This cache took us to a unique area. As the picture shows, it's a cross country ski area. The walk to the cache was a nice little hike along part of the ski trail. A gas storage well and line were the backdrop to this cache location.
On the way to the cache, we were approached by 2 dogs, trailed by their leashes. The first dog, a Jack Russell was a little ornery. The other dog was more timid. After a few minutes of standoff, the owner came along and gathered them up. I guess you just never know who or what you may come across geocaching!!

"AGT-Venango-Oil & Graves" find #67 on 11/02/08
This was our first find of the day. It was next to a cute little crick on one side and a cemetery on the other side. As you see here in the picture, we had to avoid a couple of "man swallowing" holes while looking for the cache.
As we headed out from the cache, we ran into a nice young couple from Erie, PA. We chatted with them for awhile before heading out to the next cache. Our goal is to complete Venango County today and Warren County next weekend.

"AGT-Forest-Turkeys" find # 66 on 10/19/08
We were glad this was a quick find as it was starting to show signs of getting dark and the last thing we wanted to do was get caught in the woods in the dark. I never should have watched the Blair Witch Project all those years ago!!
Anyway, this cache was located outside a wild turkey habitat. J, being the sweet guy that he is, said that he was returning me to my natural habitat. He found it much funnier than I did.
We thought about taking a seat and relaxing after this find, but the glider rocker was a little worse for wear and we thought better of it.
Well, we did it. We completed 12 finds and 2 AGT Counties in one day. We now only have 2 counties left to complete the trail. With winter coming, we will be doing our best to complete the trail before Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to see how we did.

"AGT-Forest-Guitonville Road Cache" find # 65 on 10/19/08
This was a little bit of a walk, but a relatively quick find. The walk was through lots of weeds. I don't know the technical names for them, but the ones that stick to you. We both were trying to brush them off us before getting back in the car.
The walk wasn't too bad. I was quite glad we went to the left rather than the right as it was quite the hill that way. There was a little hill, but nothing too bad!
Well, again, we still had one more to complete yet today, so we did what we had to do and moved on.

"AGT-Forest-Dedication" find # 64 on 10/19/08
Boy, this was a heck of a find. The name tells it all as it took serious dedication to find this. We were happy that we were able to drive up closer than the off season 1.06 mile hike in.
We were able to drive in so that we were within about a half mile of the cache. Once we got to ground zero, we spent at least a half hour to 45 minutes searching for the cache. J finally got to the right place where he found the cache under the rock that was under all the leaves!!
Well, we still had a couple more caches to find and daylight was burning, so we stamped the passports and moved on.

"AGT-Clarion-Helen Furnace Cache" find #63 on 10/19/08
What a cool cache location. Even though we were running short on time, we did spend a little time exploring the furnace. J really enjoyed the history and took many pictures while N found the cache.
After taking an unnecessary hike up the hill, the cache was located only about half way up the hill. We grabbed a TB from the cache to drop somewhere else. We did the typical cache stuff and moved on. As we left, a van pulled in that also seemed to be caching!!

"AGT-Clarion-Paved Trail" find #62 on 10/19/08
This was a nice little walk on a mostly paved trail. Although to actually get the cache, you had to go off the paved area. We really enjoyed this little walk, but since we were trying to complete so many caches in one day, we couldn't spend as much time as we would have like in the Cook Forest State Park.
Well, we still had 4 more caches to find yet today, so we signed the log and what not, and moved along.
